Keeping our eye on the prize is one of the most important things that we can do especially when the desire to reach our goals is WHITE hot.
Everyday, we should be writing and re-writing that goal, making it more clearer and more concise with every word that we write.
From that point, we need to be examining the thinking and the actions that are causing us to fail short of our goal. And we need to replace this thinking and action with “NEW” thinking and “NEW” actions. This is the only way that we will be able to get beyond where we are right now.
Think about it…
We are where we are BECAUSE of the thinking and action that has brought us to this point.
If we were engaging in the activities that would bring our goals into reality, we would have already reached them.
The only way for us to move towards these new goals or resolutions, is by changing our thoughts and then by changing our actions.
This takes some real soul searching and we need to become highly aware of the thoughts that we have going on in our heads about the areas that we are looking to change. We need to change that picture in our heads regarding that area. If we do not change that picture, we will end up with the same result in the end.
But if we can isolate the thinking that is creating the results that we are currently getting we can change the end result.
These thoughts can be embedded into us from childhood that we just accepted as fact and these thoughts continue to shape results that we continue to get in our lives today. No matter how old we are….
The key is to find these limiting thoughts on the area we desire to change, and change those thoughts.
I am by no means suggesting that this is easy. And that is why when it comes to habit change, I always recommend that people check out: http://www.habitbustingsystem.com
New Year’s resolutions often fail because most people rely solely on will power to get it done but the key is to get the root thinking that is creating the result and change that thinking and your actions will follow.
This does not mean that we sit around waiting until we find the thinking that is creating the result, we must start to take action towards the result we seek, while carefully paying attention to the thinking that is going on about the thing we want to change.
The old thought patterns will fight for their survival and will reveal themselves if we are paying attention to what we are thinking about.
No matter what the case may be, never give up on making the change. Keep pressing forward, if the desire is strong enough, we will make the thinking changes necessary in order to make it happen.
